I think the biggest problem with this place ever becoming active is the different instances not staying in sync. On lemmy.ml where I created it I’m seeing 28 subscribers, 3 posts and 5 comments. Other instances are showing 5 subscribers, 3 posts and 3 comments and then there’s instances where I can’t find this place at all.
I’ve also sent PMs that either never send or never get read. How or why would people want to talk here when the experience is so inconsistent?
The biggest problem I’ve seen is people posting from your instance aren’t even getting the replies from the main one synced. Viewing the thread there shows 3 or 4 posts while there’s at least 10 and who knows if there’s any missing from other instances.
